of Oroville, exhibits variable nozzle for
hose. The idea, utilized and worked out
by the inventor, is thin, flexible sheet
metal tnbe, the edges of which overlap,
and by putting on external pressure by
means of a movable threaded cover, the
size of the stream can be regulated from
the size OF straw up without interrupting
the flow of water, and is calculated for gem
eral use, ranging from the garden hose size
to that for hydraulic pipes. The patent has
only recently been issued, and the nozzle
! will become universal fayorite.
A WINE DISPLAY.
The future great industry of California
will evidently be her wine interests.
Rapid strides have been made in that
direction within the last few years, and to-
day the wines of California are being
labeled in Europe and America and sold as
imported wines. No wine producer in
this State has done more to maintain the
standard character of our wines than has
NJ. S. Nevis, of the Eagle, whose exhibit
stands in front of the entrance to the Pa
vilion. This magnificent display of one of
the resources of our Golden State is in the
shape of 8 pyramid; bottles with beautiful
labels containing some twelve different
kinds of wine are artistically arranged
On the apex of the pyramid is a golden
eagle, fitting finish TO the exhibit The
fine appearance of this display and its
character is attracting the attention of
hundreds Of Eastern visitors who aresin
attendance at the fair and interesting them

whence these wines are brought are located
on Eighteenth street, between o and P,
and are among the finest in the State. Mr..
Nevis has just completed in the southeast
part o! the city, at an estimated cost of $25,-
600, grand structure, where he is at the
present time engaged in making wine.
During the last year Mr.. Nevis shipped to
New York and other markets nearly one
hundred carloads of wine.
A. $. HOPKINS & BRO,
Wholesale dealers IN woodward, 81 and
313 street. Sacramento, make an excel
lent and large exhibit of their wares in
front of the southwest conservatory in the
Pavilion. In addition to every conceivable
style of woodward for domestic purposes,
they show fine examples of wicker baskets,
pals, tubs, brooms, churns twines, wrap
ping yarns and wrapping paper of different
grades, etc. This display is perhaps not
as artistic IN appearance as some in the
Pavilion, being of class of merchandise
that cannot be arranged to show to as good
advantage as some other kinds, yet not
withstanding this disadvantage the large
space in front of the exhibit is always filled
with people-not of the curiosity-seeing
| class, but of people who go there to exam
| inc the different articles shown because
| they are directly interested in the many
! hundreds of articles exhibited The firm
OF Hopkins & Bro. are the largest import.
ers and wholesale dealers of woodward
west of Chicago. Their house to-day is
| recognized all over the coast as one of the
| best and most reliable. Those who visit
| their establishment, whether for the pur-
| pose of trading or inspection, always re-
| ceive courteous attention from the princi-
pals or their assistants.
THE DIAMOND PALACE.
| To visit the State Exposition, for the pur-
| pose of engaging in a careful and close
study of the products and resources of a
great State, without visit to the Diamond
| Palace OF II. Wachhorst, sign of the
Town Clock" 81 J street, would be TO
| lose the pleasure of visiting one of the
| finest displays of diamonds, watches, Jew
| elry, silverware etc, to be seen anywhere.
The interior finish of this establish
ment is very seldom equaled in any
| country, and the richly-flled cases
with sparkling gems and shelves filled with
| gold and silyerware only combine to add
a still greater wealth of beauty. Mr. Wach-
| horst, the genial and ever-obIiging propri-
etor, is one of the best and most expert
enced judges of all kinds of gems and
| jewelry on the coast, and when he sells
you diamond, watch, or any other

doubt to rise in your mind as to whether
you have secured good article or not AT
this house you will find prices as low as at
any house III the United States where first
class goods are kept. Before closing this
review of Mr. Wachhorsts establishment
we ask you TO call, regardless as to whether
you require anything in his line or not
you will at least receive a welcome.
JERSEY AND GUERNSEY CATTLE.
To those who are uniformed concerning
| the qualities of the Jersey and Guernsey, a
| brief account of their native land and sur
roundings, and the causes which have pro-
| duced and maintained these breeds, and OF
| some of the advantages claimed for them
in comparison with cattle of other blood,
may be at this time of more than passing
! interest. Jersey and Guernsey are small
islands situated in the English channel off
| AhO SOaSt Va 1dnNC W dLedt
| Britain. The former has an area of some
10000 acres, and the latter about 10000, and
| the population of either is in about the
ratio of two persons to every acre. Both
Islands are very productive, and with ge-
| NAL climate all the year round the crops
are very abundant. Jersey and Guernsey
cattle are all imported from these islands
or are the descendants of imported stock.
Each island possesses an entirely dis
tinct breed of cattle, and it is
the result of the greatest effort
which retains each in its utmost
purity. In twenty-four months ii
will have been one hundred years since q
law was passed prohibiting the importa-
ton of any other breed into the island OF
Jersey, so thus for a whole century the
farmers have there been breeding these
animals as distinct race, and as a result
we find the Jersey of to-day a thorough.
bred dairy animal, combining beauty OF
form and color with the highest excellence
as butter yielder. The well-known ex-
cellent quality of their butter and its su.
perior quantity TO given amount of cream
is due to this fact of line breeding, to pro.
duce an animal which would supply the
needs of a small but thickly populated
country. What has been said of the Jer-
seys Is equally applicable to the Guernsey
stock
Many people are 10th to keep cow, he.
cause, as they think, they have no room
for so large an animal This is an erroneous
impression, for if person has room for a
shed they have room for COW in it thaving
been established beyond question that a
cow is one of the animals that does not
need exercise to stimulate digestion In
the large dairy districts of France aud
Lombardy cows never leave their stalls, but
are kept tied up the year round, and their
food taken to them. The Jersey is partic-
ularly adapted so such treatment, for she
is never allowed to range in pastures on
